Surface Pro Pen pressure sensitivity is not working in photoshop CS6. Was anyone able to get their surface pro to use the pen pressure sensitivity? In my photoshop settings when i turn on Pen Pressure for brush settings i see a yellow exclamation mark next to each settings which has to do with pen pressure. If anyone knows how to solve this problem please let me know.

    I too hope they add WinTab support instead of just the Ink API. From my previous tests on a Cintiq the Microsoft APIs quantise the input data to a lower resolution than WinTab (i.e. WinTab is better). But I don't have a Surface yet so I can't test what resolution the digitiser has anyway.

    Will Microsoft officially confirm or deny that wintab support is coming via a

    new driver? This is not a difficult question.

    I'm also looking forward to an updated pen driver before return deadline. If there is no wintab support by then I'll be returning mine. 

    Also there should be updated stylus with two way buttons that can be configured for right and left clicking. Putting only a single button on this was a very bad design decision( at least from the standpoint of a pro application user)

    Hello Everyone, 

    As Adam Z Lein mentioned we are working with the necessary partners to make the pen Advanced features available.

    Thanks again for the feedback.

    We appreciate the update. I'm also a user for which this feature is essential. I do feel that the statement above is a tad vague. Hopefully further information will be available by the return deadline.
